The Albany House is OPEN!

Jackson Street has opened its second overnight shelter. Albany House will provide youth with much more than just a safe place to sleep at night and warm meals.

Albany House is located in the old Salvation Army teen center across from Eleanor Hackleman Park. An anonymous supporter has purchased the house at 1240 7th Ave. so that Jackson Street can begin serving youth while raising annual operating funds and money to purchase the site. Jackson Street already has $200,000 in federal, state, and city support for the first year of the shelter. We were able to remodel the building throughout the fall with the help of a Community Development Block Grant provided by the city of Albany. We celebrated our opening on August 6, 2015.
